Shield: White Label Options Explained

White Label for the Shield Security plugin gives you the ability to rename and re-brand the Shield plugin for your client site installations. With White Label, you can own your own brand.

Important: Before you start using White Label, please ensure that White Label system is enabled.

White Label Options Explained

Shield's White Label feature is accessible from within the main Tools menu > White Label.

There are several White Label options and we're going to explain each one of them, along with examples.

Custom Plugin Badge

You can replace the plugin badge with your White Label settings by setting your own plugin logo, name and site URL, so when your site visitor/user clicks the home link for this plugin, they’ll be directed to your specified URL.

Example, if you want to replace the following on the plugin badge

  • plugin name
  • home URL
  • plugin badge (logo) - option "Plugin Badge Logo", should measure 128px x 128px.

... ensure that you have set your custom plugin name, site home URL, and plugin badge logo. (see the screenshot below)

Example: Your Plugin Custom Badge

Further Plugin Badge Customisation (using filter)

You may use a WordPress filter to make fine adjustments to settings and styles of the plugin badge:

You can customise

  • plugin name and text
  • badge background 

Example: Filter (customise plugin name, text & background)

Example: Plugin name, text & yellow background

Option: Plugin Name

The Shield plugin name displayed on the plugin pages will be renamed.

Example: Security Overview

Example: Plugins page

Also, any emails sent out to users will display your custom plugin name in place of “Shield” (i.e. 2FA login verification, user/admin login notification, site reports...).

Hint: You can further customise 2FA login verification email content sent to your users by using custom templates detailed here.

Example: 2FA verification email

Example: Admin login notification email

Example: Reports email

Example: Alert from scans report

Option: Menu Title

This is the main menu title of the Plugin.

For example, if you set your own menu title of the plugin to "My Plugin", "Shield" name will be replaced with "My Plugin".

Example: Custom Menu Title

Important: If Menu Title field is left empty, the plugin name you have set in the "Plugin Name" field will be used. For example, your plugin name is set to "My Plugin Name", and your main menu title to "My Plugin". If you remove "My Plugin" and leave the field empty, your menu title will display "My Plugin Name". (see the screenshot below)

If you want to get back the original plugin name (Shield Security) in the main menu, remove both plugin name and plugin main titles.
